i have swapped the std ford 4 spd for a celica 5 spd and wonderin if anyone kno what clutch to use in the conversion. whether its a std part number of if it needs to be custom made and also spiggot bearing, what goes on there??

Cheers
Jake

OK Here Goes....

Use
a standard (or HD) Escort Pressure Plate,
a standard Escort Clutch fork (in the Dellow conversion anyway),
a standard Escort clutch thrust bearing,
a Celica Clutch Plate,
A custom bellhousing (Dellow or CRS)
A custom speedo cable with an Escort top end and Celica bottom end (Dellow can supply)
A custom tailshaft with Ford rear and Toyota Front.
A custom cross member,
A custom (i think) thrust bearing carrier)
Modified wirring for the reverse light switch

NOW - I found out the hard way that an 8" metric clutch plate is slightly larger than an imperial 8" clutch.... so get the Celica clutch plate machined down to fit into the Escort Pressure Plate....

So no you cannot buy one off the shelf.. Dellow (in Sydney) may be able to source a lot of the bits for you... (If you cannot tell - thats the conversion that I have used...)

Better than a Sierra T9 box...

You also need the Dellow bronze spiggot bush.

thanks for the info

i got a celica box behind mine...
i took my clutch and presure plate in for the escort and they just picked em off the shelf...
so yeh dont think it has 2 be custom

u wouldn't kno part numbers by any chance?

nar sorry have no idea hey its all in the car... and been there for a while i would have no paper work 4 it

I did the same years back.

Just went in to the local clutch place and told them what I had. Looked in the book and found it, didn't have it in stock but had it in for me the next day.
